Here is a great free cigarette to bill trick that
you can do in a bar. A cigarette is borrowed from one of the customers
and quickly immersed into the beer the customer is drinking. The beer
is shaken out and the cigarette placed between the flat palms of your
hand and rolled back and forth between the palms, then the hands gracefully
unroll a dollar bill and the cigarette has completely vanished. An excellent
effect that will baffle your audience and is easy to perform.

Preparation For This Cool Bar Trick

Take a cigarette and roll it between the hands until all the tobacco
has fallen out. You now have the empty paper roll without the tobacco.Take
either a one dollar or a five dollar bill and roll it into a tight cylinder.
The most effective way is to fold the bill over once then start rolling
at the crease. This should produce a tight cylinder the length of the
cigarette but rolled tight enough so the bill will slip easily into the
cigarette replacing the tobacco. After the bill is in the cigarette roll
it gently so that the bill will unroll and fill the cigarette this giving
it the appearance of an ordinary cigarette. Now place this cigarette
in your pocket..

How To Perform This Cool Bar Trick

Borrow a cigarette, and with the borrowed cigarette in your hand, reach
in your pocket for a match. EXCHANGE THE
BORROWED CIGARETTE FOR THE DUMMY and bring the dummy
and the matches out together. Then say, “Before I smoke I would
like to show you a little experiment.”IMMERSE
THE CIGARETTE quickly in the beer or any liquid. Place
the wet cigarette between the palms and start rolling and rubbing. The
wet paper is rapidly disintegrates with the rolling motion, leaving you
to gracefully display the dollar bill by each end. They will immediately
shout, “DO IT AGAIN.” But
don’t repeat the trick, remember the golden rule of magic performing. "Once
is entertainment, twice is education". To add to the
illusion the magician can put a little tobacco in the ends of the cigarette
after the bill is inserted. This can also be worked by placing the dummy
cigarette in your own cigarette package, if you wish to simplify the
operation. However it is not as effective as using a borrowed cigarette
and making the switch.

Another variation: Pin a safety pin under the right
side of your jacket with a bobby pin hanging from the pin. This should
be hanging where it can easily be reached with the right hand. Insert
the bobby pin in your dummy cigarette containing the bill letting it
hang just under the jacket so the fingers can grasp it easily. Now,
bring the left hand up and look at it yourself, thus directing
attention to your left hand. Hold your arm extended, at the same time
while the audience is watching your left hand, secure the cigarette from
the bobby pin concealing it in the palm of your hand, with the back of
your hand toward your audience. As the right hand reaches the left, reach
out and apparently grab the cigarette from the air with the right hand.
The misdirection is that they have been expecting you to do something
with your LEFT HAND and you surprise them by producing the cigarette
with your right. Eh Voila , job done !!!
